Olympic road race.. All the Specialized bikes doesn't have the usual S-works decals.. All with Specialized decal instead. Anyone know why that is?

Maybe for not such cycling specific audience to recognize the brand name?

i think it has something to do with an olympic race rule, Specialized has always done this in previous olympic games.

If so - do they also black out the Dura Ace, Ultegra product names on parts - and so on...?

While the road race is conducted under UCI regulations, the IOC has very specific rules regarding the manner, placement, and quantity of logos that can be displayed on both rider kit and bikes.

I was just rewatching part of it, at least one Mexican rider was on an S-Works branded bike, and Ineos riders like Dunbar have massive 'Dogma' logos on their bikes still, so rules aren't the issue. As said above I'm sure it's just for the massive audience of non-regular race viewers Specialized would rather advertise Specialized at them, not S-Works.

Could be a left Stages or 4iiii. She definitely knows what’s up equipmentwise though, choosing Centerline XR rotors over Shimano IceTech.

Oddly I think her fit looks a bit cramped. She needs a long reach with that straight, unarched back. Her elbows are pointing backward when she is on both the hoods and in the drops. Admittedly she is “on the rivet” in the second photo, but even if she scoots back to a normal seated position, her arms would still be pointing backward.
